HOW TO GET HELP

If you need help from our foodbank there are a few simple steps to follow.

THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP IS TO GET A FOODBANK VOUCHER

In order to provide the most appropriate help for the circumstances of your situation we work with local agencies. If they feel you are struggling to put food on the table, they will issue you with a foodbank voucher. The local agency can also provide long term support if needed to help address some of the issues behind the reasons for your crisis. Agencies we work with include: Citizens Advice, housing support officers, children’s centres, health visitors, social services and some local charities.

If you need help from our foodbank there are a few simple steps to follow.

1. GET IN TOUCH WITH US

For food: If you call or email our foodbank we can talk through your situation and put you in touch with a relevant local agency.

2. ARRANGE A VISIT TO OUR FOOD BANK

We will discuss your situation and supply you with a foodbank voucher where appropriate.

If you are in a financial crisis and live in England or Wales, please call 0808 2082138 for free (open Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm) to talk confidentially with a trained Citizens Advice adviser. They can help address your crises and provide support to maximize your income, help you navigate the benefits system, and identify any additional grants you could be entitled to. If needed, they’ll issue you a voucher so you can get an emergency food parcel from your local food bank.

OUTREACH

Community Outreach for Food Security: Supporting Vulnerable Populations through Food Banking

Bepositive Amigo recently organized a series of food banking outreach events aimed at supporting vulnerable communities, including Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) individuals, asylum seekers, and migrants facing food insecurity. During these events, we provided essential food items and resources to those in need, fostering a sense of community and offering relief to families and individuals experiencing hardship. We documented these initiatives through photos and videos, capturing the positive impact of our efforts and highlighting the spirit of compassion and solidarity that defines our mission.
